B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES CT
2024-0006/PUD 2024-0007 /CDP 2024-0036 (DEV2024-0094}-2647 JEFFERSON ST. HOMES,
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Tentative Tract Map (CT 2024-0006}
1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as conditioned,
is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of t he General Plan, any applicable specific plans,
Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not
cause serious public health problems, in that the 12-unit residential condominium project created
through the tentative tract map satisfies all the minimum requirements of Title 20 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code and has been designed to comply with all applicable regulations including the
Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the R-23 General
Plan Land Use designation, as modified by State Density Bonus Law. Density Bonus Law is a State
mandate. A Developer who meets the requirements of State law is entitled to receive the density
bonus and other benefits as a matter of right. As conditioned, the design and improvements of the
proposed project are consistent with the General Plan.
All approvals and permits required by Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code for the project have
been obtained or will be concurrently obtained with the approval of the tract map.
The design of the tract map or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health
problems. The proposed location and size of the right-of-way, sanitary facilities and utilities, traffic
access, and grading were all reviewed for compliance with relevant city policies and codes.
Furthermore, the project has been conditioned to develop and implement a program of "best
management practices" for the elimination and reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or
are transported within storm drainage facilities. Therefore, the proposed project has been
designed to meet the requirements of the city and other service agency standards. All necessary
public facilities and services are in place or can be extended to serve the project, which comes with
support from fire, water, sewer, and school service providers, indicating that existing facilities are
available to service the project.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are developed and are currently designated as R-23 Residential in the General Plan. The
proposed development is in conformance with the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan
Docusign Envelope ID: 170CA876-DFEA-4E30-86D6-71F97F581 BAS
because the land use designation allows for residential uses on the project site. The subject
property is bordered on all sides by existing multi-family residential development and the project's
bulk, size, and scale is consistent with the patterns established on adjoining properties. Given the
existing, surrounding development, the residential condominium project is compatible with
existing and future land uses.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed, in
that the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development at a density range
of 19 to 23 dwelling units per acre and up to eight (8) base units are allowed on the subject 0.34-
acre parcel. Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, the Developer proposes a 38.75% density bonus
to allow for the construction of up to 12 units. In exchange, the Developer is required to designate
12% of the base units onsite (one unit) as affordable to very low-income households for 55 years,
earning up to 50% of the area median income (AMI). Additionally, all required development
standards and design criteria, aside from those waived or reduced in compliance with State Density
Bonus Law, required by the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone and the Planned Development
Ordinance are incorporated into the 12-unit residential condominium project.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of
record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the 12-unit residential
condominium project has been designed and conditioned so that there are no conflicts with
established easements.
5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of
1965 (Williamson Act).
6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that structures include operable windows on
all elevations and balconies to maximize exposure of each unit to natural light and ventilation from
nearby coastal breezes.
7. That the Planning Comm ission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this
subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public
service needs of the city and available fiscal and environmental resources in that consistent with the
lnclusionary Housing Ordinance and State Density Bonus Law, the project provides 12% of the base
units onsite (one unit) as affordable to very low-income households for 55 years, earning up to 50%
of the area median income (AMI). The one (1) very low-income unit proposed to satisfy State
Density Bonus Law requirements also satisfies lnclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements.
Pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.85, lnclusionary Housing Ordinance, 15% of the
base units, or one (1) unit, shall be constructed and restricted both as to occupancy and
affordability to lower-income households; 8 units X 15% = 1 unit (1.2 rounded down).
8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that
the 12-unit residential condominium project site has been previously developed or disturbed with
the development of a single-family residential structure and is surrounded by existing single-family
and multi-family residential development. Furthermore, the project site is devoid of sensitive
Docusign Envelope ID: 170CA876-DFEA-4E30-86D6-71F97F581 BAS
vegetation and any natural water features which would support habitat for threatened or
endangered species.
9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing Ca lifornia
Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has been designed in
accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection in accordance with
the City's sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
10. The proposed subdivision complies with all requirements of the hillside development regulations,
Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in that the project site is not subject to the hillside
development regulations.
11. The proposed tract map meets or performs all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act
and that none of the findings (a) through (g) in Section 66474 of the California Government Code
that require a city to deny approval of a tract map apply to the project.
Planned Development Permit (PUD 2024-0007)
12. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable provisions
of Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.45, and all other applicable provisions of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code, in that the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development
at a density range of 19 to 23 dwelling units per acre and up to eight (8) base units (rounded up
under State Density Bonus Law) are allowed on the subject 0.34-acre parcel. Pursuant to State
Density Bonus Law, the Developer proposes a 38.75% density bonus to allow for the construction
of up to 12 units. In exchange, the Developer is required to designate 12% of the base units onsite
(one unit) as affordable to very low-income households for 55 years, earning up to 50% of the area
median income (AMI). As discussed in the staff report, the project is consistent with all minimum
development and design standards applicable to the property, aside from those waived or reduced
in compliance with State Density Bonus Law, as contained in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapters
21.16 (Multiple-Family Residential Zone (R-3)) and 21.45 (Planned Developments) of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
13. The proposed project will not be detrimental to existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted in the
area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings,
or traffic, in that the 12-unit residential condominium project is compatible with existing
surrounding single-family and multi-family residential uses as permitted by the Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone, and does not create any traffic or circulation impacts as Jefferson Street is
adequately designed to accommodate the 72 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) being generated.
14. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the 12-unit
residential condominium project has been designed to comply with all applicable development
standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding multiple-family, condominium, and single-
family residential uses.
15. The project's design, including architecture, streets, and site layout a) contributes to the community's
overall aesthetic quality; b) includes the use of harmonious materials and colors, and the appropriate
use of landscaping; and c) achieves continuity among all elements of the project, in that the 12-unit
residential condominium project is arranged with units along a private drive aisle that is enhanced
Docusign Envelope ID: 170CA876-DFEA-4E30-86D6-71F97F581 BAS
by decorative pavers and landscaping. The four-building configuration of three-story buildings with
attached garages are architecturally harmonious with each other and include a variety of exterior
materials and colors that are complementary of each other. Primary building materials include
finish stucco and composite wood siding, in white and gray with accents in black for garage doors,
window frames, and guardrails. All elements (i.e., site layout, architecture, landscaping) create
continuity in the overall project design.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP 2024-0036)
16. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified Local
Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated R-23 Residential (19-
23) for multi-family residential development by the Mello II LCP. The project consists of the
demolition of two residential structures on two lots and the construction of 12 condominiums in
four separate triplex buildings. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding existing
single-family and multi-family residential structures. The three-story structures will not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage
the visual beauty of the Coastal Zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there
any sensitive resources located on-site. The proposed project is not located in an area of known
geological instability or flood hazard. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no
public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore,
the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
17. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreat ion policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal
Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shoreline. Therefore, the 12-unit residential
condominium project will not interfere with the public's right to physical access to the ocean and,
furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
18. That the project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the 12-unit residential
condominium project will adhere to the city's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm
Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP} to
avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is
located on the subject property and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or
susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
19. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land
Use Plan, certified September 1990 and Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not required in
accordance with the provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Carlsbad Municipal Code
Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance).
20. The project is not between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and therefore, is not
subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).
General
21. The Planning Commission finds that t he project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the
Elements of the city's General Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated Oct. 15, 2025,

a. Land Use & Community Design -The project makes efficient use of limited land supply by
subdividing a 0.34-acre site into 12 condominiums units on one lot. The project meets all
development standards (aside from those waived or reduced in compliance with State
Density Bonus Law) provides adequate parking, and the proposed design and materials
ensure the development will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Furthermore, the project provides additional housing within the existing neighborhood by
constructing 11 additional new residences (in addition from the existing single-family
residence).
b. Housing-Included in the 12 units proposed, the project provides one (1) unit as affordable
to very low-income households for 55 years, earning up to 50% of the area median income
(AMI). The one (1) very low-income unit proposed to satisfy State Density Bonus Law
requirements also satisfies lnclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements. Pursuant to
Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.85, lnclusionary Housing Ordinance, 15% of the base
units, or one (1) unit, shall be constructed and restricted both as to occupancy and
affordability to lower-income households; 8 units X 15% = 1 unit (1.2 rounded down).
c. Mobility -The proposed project has been designed to meet applicable circulation
requirements, which include a single driveway access point from Jefferson Street. In
addition, the applicant will be required to pay traffic impact fees prior to issuance of a
building permit that will go towards future road improvements.

conformance with all seismic design standards. The proposed project is consistent with all
applicable fire safety requirements including fire sprinklers. Additionally, the proposed
project is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard and the site
is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods
or liquefaction.
e. Noise -The project consists of 12 residential condominiums configured in four separate
buildings. A noise study by Birdseye Planning Group, dated June 2024 was provided. The
exterior required private recreation areas are below the maximum 60 dB(a) CNEL noise
level, and interior noise levels below the maximum 45 dB(a) CNEL can be achieved with
operable windows closed. Mechanical ventilation is incorporated into the design of the
units, which provides required heating and cooling of units without the need for open
windows.
22. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 1 and all city public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes
elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and
